LOL! Touché! ;)

A friend says that Sunak doesn’t actually want to be PM and he hates the Tories. That’s why he’s deliberately making numb skull moves like this.

The prime minister posted on X … that freedom of speech was the "most powerful feature of our democracy.”

Is Sunak really so stupid that he doesn’t realize he just refuted his own argument? And I thought US politicians were morons.

Not only is she a bigot and bully in her own right, she also can’t read or understand spoken English.

Bless you. I do have them blocked. I don’t need the aggravation in my life.

So the UK, like many societies, is struggling post-pandemic to convince a new generation of parents that the state is best qualified to raise and educate their children.

I’d forgotten about the bootloader. I only dual booted with XP for a few months before wiping the drive and dedicating that machine to Mint.

It’s blasphemy in some circles, but I never recommend Ubuntu. Mint seems much more straightforward and easier to make it feel like Windows for new users. There’s a Debian-based version if you prefer it.

I run Mint (Ubuntu version) on a couple of old laptops. But I use Debian on a Linode (Akamai) cloud server for a little hobby project. It’s a good distro.

It isn’t all that difficult to install a dual-boot setup, so you can choose at startup which OS to use.

Late stage capitalism at its finest.

Does anyone else think that nickname sounds like a breakfast cereal?

So Thatcher took extra pages from Reagan? ;)

Bless their hearts. (I’m from the southern US, for context.)

Just like our Republicans.

Wait, you guys privatized your mail service?! And are now selling it to a foreigner? What could possibly go wrong?

Same here. Bradbury was always a little darker and more horror oriented than I usually liked. Growing up in the 60s and 70s, this one was a little too possible.

I agree all the way around.

A military recruiter (I don’t remember which branch) spent most of one summer in the 80s trying to phone me while I was home from university. The first time, I was out but my mom told him I wasn’t interested. The second time, she told him – truthfully – that I was busy and couldn’t take his call but that I also wasn’t interested. The third time, she suggested that I tell him myself so that he could stop wasting everyone’s time. That conversation started something like “Hello, I mean no disrespect, but you don’t want me in your organization. I speak Russian for a reason.” He agreed.

I remember when Carter tried to reactivate the US military draft. It didn’t go well. Young people hated it. Their parents hated it. Their grandparents hated it. Businesses hated it. Colleges hated it. The military hated it. Only Jimmy Carter seemed to love it.

Reagan won the next election in a landslide.

Judge Alsup isn’t wrong. Yet Disney routinely writes its own copyright laws and has Congress pass them. Musk is just trying to cut out the middle step.

Isn’t this a definition of insanity?
